Yaşanabilir Kış Kentleri İçin Kamusal Açık Mekan Tasarımı ve Bitkisel Tasarım

Abstract

Among the most important indicators of livable urban spaces are the presence of public open spaces and access to these spaces. However, in winter cities where winter dominates, inadequate weather conditions such as wind, frost, ice, snow, declining sunshine and long-term cold restrict the use and access of public open spaces. In particular, public open urban spaces that are not designed for winter season conditions lose accessibility, which reduces the quality of life and the livability of the city. The aim of this study is to investigate what can be achieved at the design scale for the more livable urban space in the winter cities where the use of public open spaces is largely restricted, especially as a result of adverse weather conditions in winter. in the first phase of the study, from the definitions made for the winter cities, maps of the world climate classification that Koppen had done were examined and the winter cities in Turkey are designated as Erzurum, Kars, Ardahan, Agri and In the second phase of the work, public spaces in the cities are classified as streets, pedestrian paths, squares and parks. Then, the studies and practices related to the winter cities in the world were examined and design criteria for making the public spaces in the winter cities more livable for the urban people were proposed. In the third phase of the study, suggestions were made for the plant material that can be used in the public space design for the cities which are evaluated as the winter city in Turkey.
